Vinegared persimmon and daikon strips
Vinegared persimmon and daikon strips
I couldn't find a nice bowl for serving this dish, (the one I had in mind was used for walnut tofu) so finally I decided to use the persimmon as a serving bowl. How's this idea?
The dressing I used was the mixture of 2 Tbsp. vinegar, 1 Tbsp. sugar, a few drops of light soy sauce and just a little bit of wasabi. It was nice, but to be perfectly honest, the persimmon bowl tasted better than the sunomono itself… :P

That's sooo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the persimmon bowl!
I've had this style of presentation of some vegetable okazu in persimmon (maybe aemono, I can't remember anymore) a couple of times... I think the first time was at Yuuan in Nishi-shinjuku. Anyway, I always remember that dish every time I find reasonably-priced persimmons.
ReplyDeleteThursday I made a green salad with fuyu persimmon slices, finely chopped onions, and toasted almonds. It wasn't quite as dramatic a presentation, but looked nice in its own way.

I bet your persimmon salad was much better than my namasu. Great work! :D
